Awesome young man.

I am really weary of all those "record breaking" attempts.

Chasing dreams, hope he gets them.

It took 9 hours to fly to South Dakota? I thought he had a Bonanza? Did he go via Miami?

Watch out for the CBP. Dem' record breaking flight paths are suspect as hell...

I wish him luck, and this will be quite an accomplishment if successful. I know the record agencies don't care what I think, but as far as I am concerned, if you're not flying at the equator, you're not circumnavigating.
